2011 BMW 535i vs 2010 MB E350 comparison review

Motortrend has undertaken the battle of titans of the mid-sized german sedan market by pitting the 2011 535i against the 2010 Mercedes E350. If you don't like words much, here are the results and specs compared:
A physics-defying technological wonder that no longer flaunts its electronics
Feels as strong, solid, and capable as we used to think our banks were.
the BMW weighs an extra 100 hp and beats the MB that much in a stright line. Sounds like more than 32hp advantage.
Could BMW be understating the HP of the new n55 engine (like they did with the n54)?

I liked this review as it is not just focused on performace like so many are. Little boys overly excited about 0-60 and Nurburgring lap times gets quite tiresome.

"Each is so well-tailored to its own target owner groups that neither seems likely to lure away the faithful of the other brand...."

Welcome back Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
